No Hellcat Dodge Challenger, Charger or Chrysler 300 for Australia

It was recently announced that the Brampton Assembly Plant was ending production of right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles, effectively ending any chance of the Australian market getting the Hellcat Hemi in the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Challenger or the Dodge Charger as the company prepares to phase out those brand Down Under.

Australian gearheads love their Mopar muscle cars, but in the modern era of Mopar performance car, only the Chrysler 300 has been offered in the right-hand drive configuration required for use Down Under. Australian Mopar fans have long hoped that the Hellcat Challenger or Hellcat Charger and there were rumors that there could be a Hellcat-powered Chrysler 300, but with the end of right hand drive production in Brampton comes the end of the Chrysler and Dodge cars in Australia – essentially guaranteeing that Aussies will not get a Hellcat-powered car in the near future.

No More RHD at Brampton

The route of this issue starts in Canada, where the FCA Brampton Assembly Plant has ended production of the right-hand drive Chrysler 300. Right-hand drive is required of all new vehicles sold in Australia dealerships, so no RHD 300 production means no more 300 in Australia. The Challenger and Charger already weren’t built with a right-drive layout, but as Brampton ends right-hand drive production, there is seemingly no hope of Aussie Mopar fans getting any of the current Mopar muscle cars in their local market.
